No listen. All I want to do is play Maple Story with my friends and just forget everything about life. But school starts tomorrow and you know what? It's going to suck. And now, I want to be able to prolong the day as much as possible. Within hours, I'll be rotting behind a tiny desk again surrounded with people I really don't want to see so soon again. Sigh. Good-bye everyone. Thanks for the summer I've had. Either way, whether you screwed my summer up or made it better, thanks anyway. Let's be young again.

This is one project I've been dying to blog about for months. Since I was responsible for the blogging and the upcoming photo publishing Apis for Windows Live Spaces, I've spent the last couple of weeks working with the team to make sure that the user experience when using Windows Live Writer and Windows Live Spaces is great. I'd like to hear if you think we've done a good job.

Hey Duck!, So went to San Antonio (Schertz) this weekend to help my brother move. I really didn't help my brother, but rather sat there as he did everything and would not let me touch anything. Then I got suckered (by my brother) into seeing "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby". Then a bunch of non fun things happened. I pretty much would have enjoyed a nice weekend of being poked in the eye with a sharp stick repeatedly better. You know what that sounds like a good day. Hey Duck can you do me a favor? * hands Duck sledgehammer*could you bash my head in? < < AHHHH .... OWWWW .... OH GOD!!!... mother... > > Ah, thanks I needed that.? Bye

President Bush and Vice-president Dick Cheney were convinced, current and former intelligence and diplomatic officials told me, that a successful Israeli Air Force bombing campaign against Hezbollah ’ s heavily fortified underground-missile and command-and-control complexes in Lebanon could ease Israel ’ s security concerns and also serve as a prelude to a potential American preëmptive attack to destroy Iran ’ s nuclear installations, some of which are also buried deep underground

Boy George is making headlines around the world after reporting to trash detail in New York City's Chinatown this morning to begin his court-ordered community service. Boy George reportedly yelled at media hecklers, "You think you 're better than me? Go home. Let me do my community service." George's request to the court to allow him to help teenagers make a public service announcement or hold a fashion and makeup workshop, instead of picking up trash, was denied.

With regard to the second point -- that the 1998 attacks had the perverse effect of degrading the quality of our own intelligence into Iraq -- does this not explain the poor quality of the CIA's subsequent performance? More to the point, given that the CIA no longer had a single HUNINT "source collecting against Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs," does this not mean that the Bush administration was justified, especially in the wake of September 11, in assuming the worst that could be extrapolated from 1998, the last time we had solid intelligence about Iraq's weapons programs?

02. If Matthew Perry was any cuter in "The Ron Clark Story" it would be a sin. It's on TNT which means it will be shown roughly thirty times within the next week, so watch it because it was rather good. Plus, you get to see Matthew wear a Robin Hood costume, jump double dutch, and try to rap about the Presidents. S'all good. (Also, he needs to wear glasses on S60. Needs. Thanks.)

Since there's no possible reason this should require even a nanosecond to consider, the only possible explanation for the silence has to be that everyone is on vacation and trying to recover from fighting Bill Frist and the Republicans all summer on the vital issues of the day -- flag burning, tax cuts for Paris Hilton, a fake minimum wage measure and, that old favorite, same-sex marriage.

Suri Cruise's days of being a mystery baby some believe doesn't really exist are about up. Sources say Vanity Fair has landed the first photos of the carefully guarded tot spawned by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes last April. The pictures were taken by celebrity snapper Annie Leibovitz and will be published this fall, spies say. Both Vanity Fair and Cruise's reps had no comment. In recent weeks, celeb pals of the couple, including Tom's ex Penelope Cruz, have tried to dampen skepticism by insisting they've seen her.

I wasn't sure what to make of the reports of Virginia Senator George Allen putting his foot in it today when he referred to a Jim Webb operative of Indian descent as "Macaca". Some immediately leaped on this as evidence of Allen's racism. But I wasn't sure since it was quite possible that Allen had just been misinformed as to what the man's name was (his real name is S.R. Sidarth).

One thing is immediately clear. 50 million blogs do not represent 50 million regular, intelligent points of view. Just as there is a long tail in music and book sales, so there is in web content. The small minority of heavily subscribed blogs represent what Chris Anderson in his book The Long Tail calls ‘ the hits ’ and the rest represent ‘ the misses ’ or, more reasonably. niche reading by friends and shared interest groups. Many blogs only ever have one post.

BEIJING - D'oh! China has banished Homer Simpson, Pokemon and Mickey Mouse from prime time. Beginning Sept. 1, regulators have barred foreign cartoons from TV from 5 to 8 p.m. in an effort to protect China's struggling animation studios, news reports said Sunday. The move allows the Monkey King and his Chinese pals to get the top TV viewing hours to themselves.

One expects to hear this kind of hyperbolic rhetoric -- which also perfectly plays into the Republican Party's baseless smears of Democrats as soft on national security -- coming from the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, or Michael Savage.

• 1. We Would Have Said Juan Marichal and Sandy Koufax, But Whatever.... Greg Maddux and Jason Schmidt went old school on Sunday, with the Dodgers finally beating the Giants in 10, 1-0, on Russell Martin's leadoff homer. It's not often that the names of classic 1960s pitchers are invoked in connection with the current NL West (like, never), but Giants manager Felipe Alou gets a free pass after this one. "It was a classic Dodger-giant duel," Alou told AP. "It could have been Jack Sanford and Don Drysdale." You know, it's quite possible Alou thinks his team won. Maddux and Schmidt each threw eight shutout innings, the former allowing only two hits. LA has won 15 of its past 16, after a 1-13 start following the All-star break. As for the Giants, well, those records are sealed.

Renaissance is an animated feature film from first time feature director, Christian Volckman. The film looks like it employs animation similar to that of Richard Linklater's Philip K. Dick adaptation A Scanner Darkly. This style utilizes the filming of live action and then converting it via computers or hand tracing it into an animated form. I first saw this in Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings film from the 1970s. I am sure it existed before that, and I have probably seen other examples of it, but that is what comes to mind right now.

As Israel accepts a ceasefire today, it is important not to make hasty, hopeful comparisons to America withdrawing from Iraq. When we conflate Lebanon and Iraq, we do an enormous disservice to the anti-iraq-war movement by lending credence to Republican scare-tactics. It is hard to disguise the fact that Sheik Hassan Nasrallah has genocidal impulses and that Hezbollah poses a real terrorist threat, both to Israel and to the United States. If Iraq and Lebanon are the same -- well, maybe we better stay in Iraq.

It ’ s not Congo — it ’ s Israel. Everybody knows that Iranian engineers have been advising Hezbollah on tunnels and underground gun emplacements. And so the Air Force went to the Israelis with some new tactics and said to them, ‘ Let ’ s concentrate on the bombing and share what we have on Iran and what you have on Lebanon. ’ ” The discussions reached the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, he said.

The other school is to see us as the staffer above does, as the new Christian Coalition, or what's known as the New Right. The New Right was a series of conservative groups that organized a takeover of the GOP (and the corporate wing of the Democrats) from 1974-1978, spearheaded by Richard Viguerie's use of innovative direct mail channels known for incendiary content. Grover Norquist, Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich, George Bush, Joe Lieberman, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove built their power on the New Right political infrastructure.

The right wing seems to be stuck in a time warp. They think it's 1972, complete with cheap gas, big gas-guzzling cars, and a Democratic Party populated with long-haired hippie types who dodged the draft and are blazing doobies as they listen to their Todd Rundgren albums. And so they come up with opinion pieces like this from Jonah Goldberg, who seems to be gleefully predicting the demise of the Democrats in the mid-term election because they 're still stuck on George Mcgovern.
